Aggressive suggestions for competitions

[chew*]

This makes no sense. It just adds more hardware churn to an already high turnover hobby. With a resale value between 50% and 75% of retail benchers who receive review/eval samples would effectively be throwing money out the window in order to compete. On top of that what prevents me from going to Fry's, buying an RIIIE, scanning the receipt, returning the RIIIE, and using my kickass ES RIIIE eval sample? Would you like video evidence that I went to Fry's, purchased the board, unboxed it, prepared it, benched it, and submitted scores with it? Receipts, paperwork, and marks of approval are not the route.

Seems like alot of work to go through to cheat if you ask me........As whiney as some of these guys are.......to much work for them. Cheaters want easy way out, what you propose is not an easy way.

like is said it's not gonna stop it but it is a deterrent also your misguided, this isn't to deter a kick ass eval sample, it's to level playing field that everyone that competes has to actually PAY to PLAY

Example......lets say i got a free retail 670 and 655K.......then i got a few free P55 boards......I want to compete in the ASUS comp.

Guess what I can now afford to blow $$$$ on 180L of ln2 to compete.....meanwhile guy that busted his ass and probably went behind on a bill just to get what he needed to compete can only afford 30L after buying all hardware necessary......

What makes you so special that you don't have to throw money out window? Are you saying that the guy spending hard earned money to compete is throwing money out window? Or are you saying your money is more important?

I know for sure you didn't say that in your review
